Oddly Handsome 1441 Broadway


I spent a ridiculous amount of time on photos of this building -- built in 1929 at 41st & Broadway -- and wound up with just these five.

Still, it is an odd and interesting building.


The vertical ribs and color hold all the shifting brick & tile patterns together, and light bouncing off the windows adds life.


Sergeant stripes on tweed, below, suggest a rumpled authority -- like a sport coat worn by professor at a small-town college with a secret past as a drill instructor?
